Basic Subcontracting Process
One kind of production process at vendor location is subcontracting. In Navision we cannot
create Subcontracting Order directly because it is re-routed through released production
order. Please follow the steps to create subcontracting cycle
Creation of Location Card
As said above, it is process at supplier location and it is mandatory to create location in
location card and tag as subcontracting location. See the following
Go to Warehouse Setup Locations
In Excise Tab, We need to declare as this location is subcontracting location as said
above. This location needs to tag to Vendor card of “Icon Technologies” then Subcontractor
No. ‘ICON01’will come automatically here
Tagging Location to Vendor Card:
We had completed and Subcontractor creation and respective linkage. As I said before
Subcontracting is part of Production process so that we need to define Routing. Now let’s see
detail routing process.
As part of routing process it is necessary to define either “Work Center” or “Machine Center”
as per your license. Here I am creating Work Center for respective routing.
Go to Manufacturing Capacities Work Center
General Tab:
1. Work Center No. has been generated from Number Series
2. Enter Work Center Name
3. Select Work Center Group Code from the list (It is used when you are
calculating efficiency of similar type of work centers)
Posting Tab:
1. Select “Subcontractor No.” from the vendor list (This is the area we tag this
particular work center is used for ICON Subcontracting.
2. System automatically will select Flushing Method as Manual. If you are
following different then select from the drop down
3. Select Gen. Prod. Posting Group from the list – For finance Use
Scheduling Tab:
1. Enter Unit of Measure code as per the Subcontractor (Minutes, Days, Hours)
2. Enter Capacity and Efficiency as defined above, Change the values if required
3. Select the Shop Calendar code from the list (It will define Subcontractor
Calendar and it is a part of our production planning)
Once you defined Shop calendar code then it is necessary to run the calendar.
Go to the Planning Menu Calendar
1. Work Center Calendar window will open then Click Functions Calculate
2. In Calculate Work Center window Go to Option Tab then enter Start Date
and End date then Click OK
3. Please note that Shift has been defined in the system
4. As per the diagram below Calendar entries will be generated
Routing Creation:
Go to ManufacturingProduct DesignRouting
1. Generate Routing No. manually or through System
2. Enter Description
3. Enter Operation No. as 10
4. Select type as Work Center
5. Select Your work center no. from the list
6. Enter run time (In Work Center card we defined UOM as Minutes so here
enter run time approx. in minutes)
7. Change the status to Certified
Creation of Semi-finished Item -- Raw Material Item – Production BOM
Semi-finished Item:
Go to Manufacturing Production Design Item
Check the following fields:
1. Item No.
2. Item Description
3. Base Unit of Measure
4. Invoicing Tab Gen. Prod. Posting Group, Inventory Posting Group
5. Replenishment Tab Replenishment System Should be a Prod. Order
6. Need to attach Prod. BOM No. and Routing. (we will see after creation of
BOM)
Raw Material Item
Check the following fields:
1. Item No., Item Description, Base Unit of Measure
2. Invoicing Tab Gen. Prod. Posting Group, Inventory Posting Group
3. Replenishment Tab Replenishment System Should be a Purchase
BOM Creation:
Go to Manufacturing Product Design Production BOM
Tagging Production BOM & Routing into Semi finished Item
Go to I 1001 item Card and select the following:
1. Routing No. – Select from the Routing list ICON R
2. Production BOM No. – Select from the Production BOM List
(Note: We have finished setups and linkages. Now we will see Subcontracting Process)
Creation of Release Prod. Order for Subcontracting
Go to Manufacturing Execution Released Production Orders
Steps to create:
1. Select Production No. by clicking F3
2. Select Source Type as Item and Source No. is I 0001 (Our semi-finished
Item)
3. Enter Quantity and Due date
4. Posting Tab Select location
5. Click Functions Refresh
6. System will create line based on your BOM and Routing
7. To See Components Click Lines Components
8. To See Routing Click Lines Routing
Released Production Order:
Click Line Components
Click LineRouting
Creation of Subcontracting Order:
Go to Manufacturing Planning Subcontracting Worksheets
After window Opens, Click FunctionsCalculate Subcontracts.
In Prod. Order routing line Tab, Select your released Production No. then Click OK
After clicking OK system will generate a line in Subcontracting worksheet.
Then, Click FunctionsCarryout Action Message
Your Subcontracting Order has been generated now. Let’s go have a look.
Go to ManufacturingExecutionSubcontracting Order
Now we need to send Delivery Challan (57 F4) using the above Subcontracting Order.
Click LineOrder Subcon. Details
Here you have two tabs 1. Delivery Details (Used for Sending material) 2. Receipt details
(for receiving Semi finished Parts)
1. In delivery, we needs to enter Delivery Comp. for column then system will
calculate Qty to send column automatically
2. If you want to send bulk raw material to the subcontractor then you can
directly put the value in Qty to send column.
3. Specify Delivery Challan date
4. Enter company location
5. Click Send
After Clicking Send Delivery Challan Posted get updated with 1
Go to Delivery Challan PostedDrill down Select your delivery
challanDeliveryCard then you can print 57 F4
Receive Material from Subcontractor:
1. Go to Receipt Details Enter Qty to Accept
2. System will update Qty to consume column
3. Give Vendor Shipment No. and Posting Date in Header column
4. Now, We have adjust consumption against 57 F4. For that
5. Click Function Apply Delivery Challan
In Apply Delivery Challan window select App. Delivery Challan No. from the lookup and Qty
to Consume is 10.
After Apply delivery Challan Click Receive. Quantity Accepted column is updated with you
Quantity
You can take GRN Print from Posted Receipts.
